Durdan’s Park Primary and Nursery School is a community school that provides quality education for children aged between 3 and 11 years. We provide a secure and caring environment where children are comfortable and most important of all, happy. We have high expectations of every one of our pupils in an educational and social capacity. We know, as educationalists, that children learn best when they are happy and when they have high self-esteem. Our team of staff works hard to ensure that the talents and skills of all pupils are recognized. A high level of self-esteem is the key to learning. The school’s Governing Body is a proactive and a positive force for school improvement. Also, the majority of Governors are parents of children at Durdan’s Park and as stakeholders, their commitment to the school is assured.
